M.,. Lafitte speal(s, certainly, of the stagration .of commerce in France ;: but his speech presents a very different view of the magnitude of, the evil in France, ~from that which is offered to us in all our letters from the.manufacturing districts in Englund ; and more particularly in one, .signed, " Philopatris, of which we have given some extracts in this day's jour nal. " Our -warehouses," says M. Lafitte, 00 are emptied—there is no glut in any, part ; anti even if the contrary Were the case on some points, low prices would invite:the application of capital,. which ;specula ! , tion never. ; fails to interpose between production and consumption, in order to preserve the equilibriuni." Fantastical and, politico-economical enough :;brit yet intelligible, or nearly so. In fact, the sole caw; of the evil, according to M. Lafitte,. , --and the effect way be measured by the want of confidence., But, much less sums having been at the disposal (if; con fidence in France than in England, the want of that useful commodity, in trade, will be of course much less felt in the former country than-. in the latter if there were even no other causes operating . exclu sively upon us, as the diminution of Bank mt.

The r..ccounts which have been given by the Aus trian I.un o the Observer of the dest f iissarieS at C°%istantinoplei and:the progress made in introducing torte military organization of the West of Europe, if we could, rely on their truth, would lead us to expect great things from_ the energy and sagacity of the pre sent 'l. 4 rlisli Government, How the Turkish Em pire could have held together so long, with an anar chical military in the centre, opposed to all improve ment, is little short, of a miracle. AS the Govern meat has emancipated' itself,, and in the way of ac quiring that instrument of civilization, by means of which the Rus•sian Government has effected so winch during the ,144:century, namely, a regnlaly Organized army, it ia.not, beyond the range of probability that the Turks may yet become a power of ; some conse quence; in Europe. Stich Men as Peter of Russia seldom.appear among barbarians , and it will require hardlyless energy and perseverance than he displayed to obtain a mastery over the obstinate prejudices of the Turks, : and. to mould them into docile subjects. It is curious enough that a resemblance between the Turks and , ourselves, in their laws and institutions, has often been traced, both by English and Conti nentid writers. , Thw, fOr instance, the celebrated Sir Dudley North, who lived long at Constuntitiople,, ac 7, cording. to the interesting Life a lihn by his brotlicr, Roger North (in the " Lives of Lord Keeper NOrtb; Sze. of which we are glad to see a republication), ob serves of the Turkish " It seems to have a great analOgy with oar Common Law ; for that, the learned s ay , is custom ionneritorial,' But how is that to be' known'?

The AlCuran bath few or no express cases or rules, such :1,4 being plain and direct deserve to be termedieWs ; but a world of jargon, and rhapsody of words, which may, be wrekitatto every one's fancy ; and that setae which the learned, in former times, have taken, is the sense. of the Alccoth, and con t i nently the law.

Von Hammer, of enna, published, in 1815, a work on The Consti tution and Adininistration of the Turkish Empire," which has been Much praised, on the Continent. , The following is the account given by a Germanjuriscon (l3eseborner), of the leading points elucidated by him:.- - "'As in England, the King is Supreme Heed of the State. ' the Church , so also the Wand Sultan Suprema Ilium sod Cali:ll' i is ; but in both. countries dial:leggy ! 4 , 114 , t h e c hief influee ,, . 11 , 1;0' di the power is wielded by the Ministry ; but the 11 ttristry are iaaler the immediate )nlluence of the Great and the Clergy.

Von Hammer says— '‘‘ Mo ammed first organized the distribution, gradation, and adrarieement the Mena, and thereby gave ,to that body the constitAtional, immoveable, fundamental power, which it ha:a. alWtCys since. reserved, and which it will.preaerve till the com plete dissolution of the Turkish empire. Its gradation is one of the best contrived political institutions, of which the merit be longs wholly to Mohammrl, it which Suleiman only perfected by a couple of additions." • .. t rlit:re are.few-of our readers, I,ve dare say, who were before aware that Constantinople was the quarter to Which 'we must look for the model of a perfect contd.; 'tution, 'We hear, do not . however,. that the Turks; among their other political improvethents, have any thing like rotten boroughs. If, . who is so warm an admirer of this. part of our constitution, should find the improvement also possessed by the Turks, we fear it would soon be all over, with the poor Greeks. We know not hoiv far our unpaid will thank us for adding, that the German Doctors have been at great pains , in eilil,cavouring to prove that we do not monopolize even this institution,: as the Cadi and his Scribe are, they say, 44 exact counterpart of the JuStice'and his Clerk. , ETRE MORNING HERALD.] The good people of Brighton are in a sad plight at the continued absence from that place of the Royal Patron, whose countenance first converted it from a trumpery second-rate fishing town into a kind of se cond metropolis ; and have found out, now that it is too late, how absurd and ungrateful the conduct of that part of them has been who were unwise enough to disgust so valuable and important a benefactor. The Brighton people are, to be sure, in this respect only a type of mankind in general, who seldom know how to value benefits till they have lost them. Why were these good folks so inconceivably foolish, for instance, as to allow the prospect of the sea from the Pavilion to be shut out ? Did they suppose that the King came among them only to,view their red-brick houses, their cockney excrescences, or their downs without trees or vegetation ? Was it, that having mounted, as they thought, to the pinnacle of prosperity, they were at liberty, with consummate ingratitude and bad taste, to kick down the ladder by means of which they had so risen ? Or were there sonic low spirits among them, who thought it a great feat to have it in their power to annoy the King ? Be this as it may, if the Brighton people wish to g e t th e Ki ng ,b ac k again, let them first knock down all th e h ou . es which intercept the prospect of the sea, and present the ground as a pc;ice offering to his Majesty. They were silly enough to suppose that the flies came after them, not after the honey-pot —that the butterflies came after their brick-walls, and not after the sun-flowers, the pinks, the roses, and car nations of the Pavilion. But it was not for air, or for mackerel, for wheat-cars or John 'Dories, that people of condition crowded to the place, but to be in the way of that sun-shine which the lookers after the good things of this world well know the value of. Like other people, whom temporary prosperity, has made saucy and ungrateful, the Brightomans must learn , humility, now that they find that riding the high horse has only thrown them into the mud.

W e ono, st earnestly desire ,that every person in the E mp i re ~could have t in his power to examine these Reports. It would be seen by thein how attentive, how correcttr how exact, bow minute, is the superin temlence of er every. department of prison discipline under the eye' of the present Govermnent. It is now almost irougAsible that any abuses should occur with out immediate detection ; it is altogether impossible that any vestige o .r the tyrannical conduct which 'pre vailed in our priso. us—as it indeed prevailed in all prisons, where, for •%,,, initever reasons the final superin tending power was L 'iaccessible, or acce s sibl e with greatdifficulty,--shoult., l be again, complained of. There is, however, anodic: danger, and cue which is no less to be dreaded—lce may make our prisons too attractive to our culprits. He who imagi n e ) that, by rendering every thin, , quite comfortable to the incarcerated felon he it; doing a gene rous or humane action, will in nine cases out of ten find that he is doing 'a most pernicious mischief to society. Few persons have been more particularly in jurious to the human race than those who call them selves,. and deceive others into the stupidity a calling theta, philanthropists. A careful review of the private life of almost every one, of these people would con vince the inquirer that thek motives were at least dubious—their own personal character, at least, liable to cavils—and the general result of their labours, in the great multitude of the eases into which they in trude themselves, decidedly productive of evil. We think that a prison should be, as the old song calls it, a place of woe ;" and hope that n o ne of the super fine refinements of our philanthropical reformers will deprive it of that character ; while we are quite sure that, the system is now wider such management as to m a ke it impossible that it should be a place of « woe unnecessary." LPNOTIT OP PABLIAMENTS.-It appears that from the accession of Henry VIII. to the death of Geo. 111., wt had sixty-Jive Parliaments , an d that of these only four exceeded seven years ut their duration, and only eight had a duration of six years ; and the remaininy thirty-four did rot any of them reach to the extent of tw o years. Taking.. one Parliament with an ' other, the d urat i on ' of each, including the Long Par 'lament in the re i gn of C,harles 1., and the still longer of Charles 11., did gust exceed two years. At the assizes of Laval, a female named Racille• was condemned to hard labour for life for the murder of a child. The prisoner who had previously had three children, stated in her defence that she had brought into the world an ugly b east w ith- a tail, and which made frightful g r- ma 4 es , and that she had been induced by her disgust to'throw it into the river. CHESHIRE QUARTER SESSIONS. • Mary Moran, alias Joned, (25), a lady very splendidly dresied, and decorated with a profusion of yellow ribbons, and her tongue withal " tipped with obit of the brogue," Was charged with stealing; on the Bth of April, nineteen sovereigns, one half-sovereign, two gilt, seals, and other articles, the property of Mr. Shaw, of Hyde. The pro secutor is the landlord 'of the Navigation Inn, at Hyde;. and a few days previous to the last Chester Assizes, where he was in attendance as a witness, be . put 147 sovereigns in a particular desk, or chest:of drawers, in, his, beds room. During his absence,- his wife had given gold in exchange for notes to- several individuals; . and, accord- . ing to the account she 'rendered him, there were twenty, one sovereigns remaining `- in the: desk. The prisoner had been in the service of the :prosecutor about eleven weeks, when she opened the drawer in which. this money was deposited (the keys of the above chest, were left in one of the drawers), and took out the money and thel two seals named M the indictment.--- s Theman. , norm') which the ,prisoner was detected is not a little curious., About halfspaat tax o'clock on a Friday . morn ing, while the landlord was absent at Chester, the waiter, whose; name is Alcock, came doWn stairs, and hap pening to look in at the door of a small parlour, he saw reflected in looking-glass opposite, the prisoner, who was ; seated on a. sofa in the act of counting the sovereigns into a white net purse. He communicated his suspicions on [this subject to his mistress, and it was arranged between them that the latter should feign sialden illness in the night time; that Moran should be called up in great haste; and. that Alcoa should search her bed while she was in attend ance on her mistress, He did so, and found concealed under the:tnattraas , the above-named white purse, contain ing 19 fx, sovereigns and two seals, all of which he suffered to remain where he found them. The next day the landlord, returned from Chester and the prisoner teas searched by Wood, a constable, when the purse - and its contents were found concealed in a very peculiar manier on her person. The naivete with which Wood gave his evidence, created roars of laughter in Court, and even dis composed the gravity of the Bench itself. A considerable number of respectably-dressed females; who were in Court hid their blushes in—their pocket handkerchiefs. Mrs. Shaw, a very portly lady, the hostess,of the Navi gation Inn, was &tiled to prove some particular facts, mid she underwent a severe cross-examination by the prisoner, Whose self-possession never forsook her during the trial. The court was convulsed with laughter during this part of the proceedings'; the landlady cried, - "'Ohl the ridi culous woman ! ear inc! I shall lie i//; I shall certainly be know I shall—lndeed I shall-Oh, you wicked woman I—She's a most ridiculous woman, there's not a word Of truth in what she says, Gentlemen." The prisoner addreased the Jury at great }midi in her .defence; and they, without hesitation, found a verdict of • The Chairman, in passing sentence, animadverted in strong terms upon the enormity of the offence of which the prisoner had been found guilty.. He regretted to find., that it waS not the first time she had been beforna Court of Justice. , " Tile Court 'must mark their sense of the magnitude of ha offence by an exemplary punishment. The sentence tipori her therefore was, that she be trans ported for seven years, and, in the Mean time, imprisoned in Chester Castle to hard labour. On hearing this' sentesce, the prisoner took occasion to ,faint but she gave sufficient indication of her intention, to enable those about her to preVent her falling down in the clock.

It will a singular fatt, that the prisoner could. be indicted in every county in England, for there was not one in some part of which he bad not uttered forged paper. Mr. Gates" said he been engaged iu treeing him to a great many places. He was a men of very imposing manners, and a greatknowledge of business, and the style in which he had lived, and the appearande of himself and his female companion, a beeuti fel and elegait woman, completely. disarmed suspicion in the rub .is even of the, mostwary. ,Has general mods was to drive to the first-rate inn, in whatever plaee he chose fostop at, and there live sumptuously for a fetV days,' pay liberill34 and' take special pains to ingratiate himself with the landlord of thehouse, whom, with his wife, perhapi, be would take in his carriage for a day-or two to, ,some place of publiereSoht, or for .a short time ahout the ads joining country, treating ;them with champagne and every other luxury, that could be procured.: When'abont to quit the town he would say .he was short ofreatly money ; he ha 1 plenty of bills, as good as the Bank .of ,Epglenil; " but, thee, 11w devil of it' is, you see, that no one, knows me here; ,or your bankers would dis count for me .

In this manner he got a forged paper cashed at Newark anat several other places. - At each place where be stopped he was Constantly receivingslettere by the posts containing . bills and •bankenotes, , ind ft lard been ascertained that severid of : those very letters 'lsad heen first given by the prisoner himself to stage-coachmen to 'be put into distant posts offices. When he was apprehended he had two packages, filled with printed forms of hills of eiehangei and promissory notes, several of which were drawn, accepted, and endorsed in various names. and hand-writing. One Of these parcels he contrived to , destroy. (Mr. GateA produced the other.) There were also some slips of paper,' on which were written. a' great many signatures in different chareetera of band-writing, as if by some person practising. At one piece the prisoner obtained cash for a bill of 201. by this expedient. He received a letter by poet, with a black seal, with which he 'went in haste .to a tradesman; with tears in his eyes, and said his brother had been killed in the 'Burmese war, and he was compelled to go in great haste to Lon. don, to settle his affairs. 13ot a still more ingenious trick was played all him et Rochester.

'She at once complied,. and he alighted, walked into the banking-honse, and requested cash for a bill of considerable amount. The bankers seeing with whom he came, had not the least hesitation in complying with his request, and gave him the money. He left Rochester very shortly after. The prisoner is apparently about thirty-three years of age, 'of florid complexion, light hair, and about the middle size. He Wore a jacket, Made after the, fashion of . those worn by our me tropolitan: fresh-water sailors in their excursions. His female companion was in the office, but not present at the examination.
